competitive race?

I am interested in attending a race in upstate New York or Vermont to
watch. Does anyone know when a race will be held in these areas? Is
there a website I can log onto? What is the best way for someone to get
started? I own a 11 yo stb, I am 53 yo. would love to compete and finish
a 25 mile race. Is this the shortest? Thanks.
